      Pros

      Salary, bonus, benefits. Canary Wharf location is great for those errands

      Cons

      Bullying culture that is not addressed. Traditional i.e. do not accept change or anyone different to someone that has "grown up" in Barclays. Its a man's world

      Watch your back

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Barclays compensation package is good especially compared to available jobs in the area. Opportunities to get involved in fund-raising and charity events.

      Cons

      This may be the particular location but there is a 'small town mentality'. Team leaders have an inflated sense of their own importance, and pick their favourites in a team. Often people will be asked to 'act up' which basically means they get more work out of you than you are paid for - this is not rewarded with the promotions promised. Team leaders pick their favourites and judge staff on how well they flatter them, not how competent they are at the job. Bullies are not dealt with, despite numerous reports from many people.

      Used to be a good company before BlackRock took over

      Pros

      When it came to developing software, BGI did a better job than some of the software companies I've worked for. BGI was trying to put development processes into place which is certainly better than no process.

      Cons

      BGI used to be a great place to work until they were bought out by BlackRock. BlackRock dragged BGI 5 years back. Process got dumped out the window.
